Compliance item Common China baseline Turkey (CE / TSE / EPDK) Gap / action Source + verification date
Anti-Islanding and Loss-of-Mains Protection China anti-islanding and abnormal-grid tests under GB/T 37408 and grid-code work under GB/T 19964-2024 can support comparison, but trip thresholds, reconnection times, and loss-of-mains methods must be matched to the Turkish project requirements.GB/T 37408
GB/T 19964-2024		 Grid-connected PV inverters for Turkish projects should be documented for anti-islanding and loss-of-mains protection as part of the distribution-company and project acceptance file. IEC 62116 and EN 50549-series evidence may be relevant technical evidence, but the required settings and accepted standard route must be confirmed with the local Turkish grid-connection authority for the project.IEC 62116
EN 50549-1
EN 50549-2
Project-specific distribution-company protection settings		 The gap is setting compatibility and evidence traceability. Exporters should provide anti-islanding type-test reports, firmware version control, parameter-locking method, voltage and frequency trip tables, reconnection logic, commissioning screenshots, and a statement that Turkish project settings override default China profiles.[INFORMATIONAL] Anti-islanding evidence should be treated as a Turkish project grid-acceptance item; China default trip settings and GB/T evidence need a Turkish parameter review before commissioning.

Turkey EU-Customs-Union CE Marking and Applicable LVD / EMC / RED Scope China GB-standard evidence for PV inverters, including GB/T 37408 and GB/T 19964, can support technical review but does not replace the Turkey/EU-aligned declaration, technical file, CE marking analysis, importer duties, or radio-module review.GB/T 37408
GB/T 19964		 Turkey participates in the EU-Turkey Customs Union for industrial goods and aligns technical legislation within that scope. For solar PV inverters, CE-style compliance should be screened against the electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and radio-equipment regimes that apply to the specific model: LVD for covered voltage ranges, EMC for emissions and immunity, and RED where the inverter includes Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, or another radio module.EC-Turkey Association Council Decision No 1/95 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union
Directive 2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive, where voltage scope applies
Directive 2014/30/EU EMC Directive
Directive 2014/53/EU Radio Equipment Directive, where radio equipment is included		 The gap is market-placement documentation rather than only electrical test performance. Exporters should map each SKU to LVD, EMC, RED, RoHS and other applicable Turkish/EU-aligned legislation; prepare a Turkish-market technical file, declaration of conformity, labels, user instructions, risk assessment, EMC reports, safety reports, and radio-module evidence where relevant.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat Turkey CE-aligned scope screening as a market-placement gate: LVD, EMC, and RED must be applied by model and function, not assumed from China GB/T inverter reports.

EPDK Unlicensed Generation and TEDAS / Distribution Grid-Connection Review China State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, GB/T 19964-2024, and GB/T 37408 documentation can support technical comparisons, but Turkish connection approval depends on the local project, distribution company, EPDK framework, and TEDAS-related acceptance route.GB/T 19964-2024
GB/T 37408
State Grid / China Southern Power Grid project procedures		 Turkish distributed solar projects may proceed under the EPDK unlicensed electricity generation framework where the project qualifies, but the inverter is still reviewed in the project grid-connection file by the relevant distribution company and TEDAS-related technical acceptance route. Product test reports do not replace connection opinion, project approval, protection settings, metering, commissioning, or acceptance documents.Electricity Market Law No. 6446
Regulation on Unlicensed Electricity Generation in the Electricity Market
TEDAS and distribution-company project connection and acceptance practices		 The gap is Turkish project acceptance. Exporters should prepare single-line diagrams, inverter model certificates, protection setting tables, grid-code parameter ranges, reactive-power capability, remote-control or monitoring interface evidence, meter and communication compatibility, commissioning records, and Turkish-language operation documents for the project owner and distribution company.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat Turkish EPDK/TEDAS grid connection as a project approval path separate from product CE or GB/T testing; no China grid certificate should be presented as Turkish interconnection approval.

China GB/T 37408 and GB/T 19964-2024 Baseline vs Turkey Approval Evidence GB/T 37408 is the China GB-standard baseline commonly used for grid-connected photovoltaic inverter technical requirements, while GB/T 19964-2024 is the China GB-standard baseline for photovoltaic power-station access to the power system. These can anchor a comparison matrix but should be labelled as China evidence only.GB/T 37408
GB/T 19964-2024		 Turkey-facing compliance files should separate China technical baseline evidence from Turkish market-placement and grid-connection evidence. China GB/T 37408 inverter technical evidence and GB/T 19964-2024 photovoltaic power-station grid-connection evidence may be useful for engineering due diligence, but they do not create CE compliance, TSE acceptance, EPDK eligibility, TEDAS acceptance, or distribution-company interconnection approval.Turkey CE-aligned product legislation where applicable
TS EN 62109 where required or requested
EPDK / TEDAS / distribution-company grid-connection route		 The gap is claim control. Exporters should avoid saying that GB/T reports are Turkish certificates. Instead, map each GB/T test item to the Turkey-facing evidence pack: CE declaration and technical file, EN/IEC/TS EN 62109 safety reports, EMC reports, radio evidence where applicable, Turkish labels and manuals, grid-parameter sheets, and project commissioning records.[INFORMATIONAL] Use GB/T 37408 and GB/T 19964-2024 as China baseline rows in the comparison, not as Turkish market-access proof; Turkey needs its own CE, TSE, and grid-connection evidence trail.

TS EN 62109 Safety Evidence for PV Inverter Power Converters China GB-standard inverter documentation may include GB/T 37408 and grid-code reports, plus voluntary CGC/CQC or IEC reports. GB/T grid or performance evidence does not by itself prove conformity to the full TS EN 62109 safety construction, thermal, insulation, marking, and abnormal-operation requirements.GB/T 37408
GB/T 19964-2024
Voluntary CQC / CGC / IEC test reports where available		 Turkey uses Turkish Standards Institution adoption routes for European and international standards. For PV inverter safety, TS EN 62109-1 and TS EN 62109-2 evidence is commonly the relevant product-safety baseline for power converters used in photovoltaic power systems, but the legal consequence depends on the applicable Turkish technical regulation, customer tender, utility list, or project approval route.TS EN 62109-1
TS EN 62109-2
EN 62109-1
EN 62109-2
IEC 62109-1
IEC 62109-2		 The gap is whether the safety file is built around EN/IEC 62109 and accepted for the Turkish route. Exporters should prepare CB/IEC or EN 62109 reports, component critical list, transformer or isolation design evidence, thermal derating data, DC input limits, fault test evidence, Turkish user warnings, and nameplate data aligned to the exact model family.[INFORMATIONAL] Do not treat TS EN 62109 as a blanket statutory certificate without route confirmation, but prepare EN/IEC 62109 safety evidence because Turkish buyers, utilities, and conformity files commonly expect it.

Turkey 50 Hz 230/400 V Grid Profile China inverter defaults are commonly built around China 50 Hz grid operation and China grid-code profiles, including GB/T 37408 and GB/T 19964-2024 evidence. The common frequency does not eliminate the need to check Turkey-specific voltage windows, protection parameters, neutral/earthing assumptions, and project commissioning settings.GB/T 37408
GB/T 19964-2024
China 50 Hz grid-code profiles		 Solar PV inverter models for Turkey should be configured and documented for the local 50 Hz low-voltage grid profile, commonly 230 V phase-to-neutral and 400 V phase-to-phase for three-phase systems, while actual protection thresholds and permissible ranges are governed by the Turkish project, distribution company, and applicable grid rules.IEC 60038 standard voltages
EN 50160 voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution networks
Project-specific Turkish distribution-company settings		 The gap is not nominal frequency alone; it is the complete country profile. Exporters should provide Turkey grid-code parameter sets, allowable voltage/frequency ranges, over/under-voltage and over/under-frequency settings, reconnection delays, power-factor/reactive-power controls, and commissioning evidence for each firmware version.[INFORMATIONAL] Even though China and Turkey are both 50 Hz markets, Turkish 230/400 V profiles and project protection settings should be loaded, locked, and evidenced before energization.
